LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH: THE TOP SPORTS CAR OF THE 70s AND 80s

The mid-engined supercar was produced by Lamborghini between 1972 and 1990.

2,042 of the two-door coupes were made.

The LP 500S model can reach top speeds of 160mph while the LP 500 Turbo S Prototype can reach 207mph.

The engine is pointed 'backwards', the output shaft is at the front, and the gearbox is in front of the engine for better weight distribution.

Designed by Marcello Gandini, the supercar came third on the list of top sports cars of the 70s and 10th in the top ones from the 80s, by car magazine Sports Car International.

‘The vehicle remains there and is not causing an obstruction. Officers continue to monitor the situation.’

The Daily Telegraph reports that the driver could also face a fine after DVLA records traced the number plate and found it was registered to a black Land Rover.

The vehicle was removed from the road at around 3pm this afternoon.

A genuine 25th Anniversary Edition of the car was used in the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street.

In one scene the main character New York stock broker Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, recklessly drives his Lamborghini Countach whilst high on drugs and crashes into his driveway.

The damage to the authentic vehicle sparked outrage from fans of the Italian supercar online, claiming that a replica should have been made.
